I think Gnu adopted the numeric extensions at one point, but I don't
know if they're in the current generation of the compiler. There *is* a
PC port of gcc. Check out Cygwin ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ )
for example.

I'm pretty sure that:
1/ The ADI extensions never worked correctly. At least not if
you turned on the optimizer.
2/ They have long since been obsoleted in the GCC code
(there was some discussion about some code support for
iterators that wasn't totally dead, but nobody had a clue
about how it was supposed to work.)
